Quote from the song “Chinese Satellite” by Phoebe Bridgers


I've been runnin' around in circles
Pretending to be myself
Why would somebody do this on purpose
When they could do something else?
Drowning out the morning birds
With the same three songs over and over
I wish I wrote it, but I didn't, so I learn the words
Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

Perfect Lyrics of the Song “Chinese Satellite” Released in 2020

[Favorite Song Lyrics: song “Chinese Satellite” with perfect lyrics for karaoke]

[Verse 1]

I've been runnin' around in circles
Pretending to be myself
Why would somebody do this on purpose
When they could do something else?
Drowning out the morning birds
With the same three songs over and over
I wish I wrote it, but I didn't, so I learn the words
Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

[Chorus]

Took a tour to see the stars
But they weren't out tonight
So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite
I want to believe
Instead, I look at the sky and I feel nothing
You know I hate to be alone
I want to be wrong

[Verse 2]

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals
They were screamin' right back from what I remember
When you said, "I will never be your vegetable"
Because I think when you're gone, it's forever
But you know I'd stand on the corner
Embarrassed with a picket sign
If it meant I would see you when I die

[Chorus]

Sometimes, when I can't sleep
It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things
Swore I could feel you through the walls
But that's impossible
I want to believe (I want to believe)
That if I go outside, I'll see a tractor beam
Coming to take me to where I'm from
I want to go home

FAQ & Knowledge Song “Chinese Satellite”

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    Verified CommentaryPhoebe Bridgersvia Apple Music

    I have no faith — and that’s what it’s about. My friend Harry put it in the best way ever once. He was like, “Man, sometimes I just wish I could make the Jesus leap.” But I can’t do it. I mean, I definitely have weird beliefs that come from nothing. I wasn’t raised religious. I do yoga and stuff. I think breathing is important. But that’s pretty much as far as it goes. I like to believe that ghosts and aliens exist, but I kind of doubt it. I love science — I think science is like the closest thing to that that you’ll get. If I’m being honest, this song is about turning 11 and not getting a letter from Hogwarts, just realizing that nobody’s going to save me from my life, nobody’s going to wake me up and be like, “Hey, just kidding. Actually, it’s really a lot more special than this, and you’re special.” No, I’m going to be the way that I am forever. I mean, secretly, I am still waiting on that letter, which is also that part of the song, that I want someone to shake me awake in the middle of the night and be like, “Come with me. It’s actually totally different than you ever thought.” That’d be sweet.

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    I thought about cults a lot while I was writing the record. Cults fascinate me because they are like an abusive relationship times a thousand. From the outside everyone is like, “How could you fall for that?” But with Synanon, like, I’ve gone to Al-Anon meetings and maybe if some super smart person was talking to me and invited me to check out where they lived… maybe I’d be susceptible to mind control. With Jonestown or something, it’s hard to say that all those people were idiots. Clearly the person running it is an evil genius, otherwise that many people wouldn’t fall for it. That’s terrifying to me. That’s kind of what “Chinese Satellite” is about, wishing I could make a leap like that where your life has purpose all of a sudden.
